There’s Home, Back, and Volume buttons in the front, and a clickable trackpad as well. At the back, there is a trigger button, and on board sensors include an accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetic sensor.

The touchpad on the motion controller provides quicker selection and interaction within VR apps. The controller is powered by two AAA batteries that claims to last up to 40 days with two hours of daily use. Oculus has also announced that 70 new titles with controller support are coming soon.

Separately, Oculus has also made some changes to the Gear VR Home Screen and it now comes with a new avatar system that lets you have one avatar across games.

Oculus additional claims that the Home Screen loads three times faster, sports twice the resolution, and uses 30 percent less battery than the predecessor.

The company has also introduced a new VR web browser, and videos that required launching an app to play, now play directly on the Home Screen.

Samsung is already taking pre-orders of the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ in the US, and users who pre-order are eligible to get a free Samsung Gear VR headset.

Samsung has also made available a promo ‘gift box’ that you can buy for $99. This box includes a Gear VR, a pair of AKG Bluetooth headphones, and a 256GB microSD card.

Just to put things into perspective, the AKG headphones are priced at $150, the microSD card is for $250, and the Gear VR is for $130.

So, all in all, accessories worth $530 can be bought off for just $99, if you choose to pre-order. This offer is applicable till April 20.
